Spud2nique Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 Collins on the block... Roll in the BS... Hey @JayBirdHawk I got the thread right here. John Collins, Myles Turner available? If the current trade buzz is accurate, the general market for young frontcourt players is robust, with league executives saying both the Indiana Pacers’ Myles Turner and the Atlanta Hawks’ John Collins, big men with the ability to switch between power forward and center, are on the trading block. 8 hours ago – via Ric Bucher @ Bleacher Report 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turner or Capella for Collins, they better send us a pick/piece or two. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBASupes Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 I mentioned in the other thread that Atlanta was lukewarm to the idea of an even swap. Indy will have to add value to make up ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are super well coached and Indy would be a beast if/when Oladipo is back full strength. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a no brainer for Indy and something Atlanta has to give thought to but it's not a good deal for us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the same sense, Myles Turner in Atlanta in their style of offense as the center alongside Trae Young could really unlock Myles’s game. Myles has the size, rim protection, and floor spacing ability the Hawks need. The Pacers changed things up this year by going with a two center set with him and Sabonis and changed Myles’s role from a screener, pick and pop, and rim runner role to more of a spot up jump shooting role. We also have to face the fact that if our core building blocks are Trae and John, then it is going to be very hard to build the type of team needed around those two to be successful. They are too limited from a defensive standpoint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s also very soft. With Adams you get a rock in the middle. There’s a lot of fluff with Turner. Our defense would still suffer. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bleachkit Posted February 3, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 JC is a damn good athletic young 4, an 18 and 10 guy. Defense has improved. Also a charismatic, intelligent personality. We better be getting a f'n haul if we trade him. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our defense would still suffer. Adams is also not a great fit alongside Collins, hence my point. He’s not the move defender that you need, and he would be little more than a screen man offensively. He doesn’t space the floor with his shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spud2nique Posted February 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 Steven Adams has missed 25 total games in 6.5 season in the NBA. (In his season season he missed 12 games). This dude is nails. Availability is the best ABILITY. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
